60% - more land tiles

70%

80% - less land tiles

ABSTAIN

As we have decided to go with Continents, water coverage of the map becomes more important than it does with Pangaea. Therefore I'm running a poll to get your opinion for the ISDG. Below is the water coverage image from the game, showing optional choices between Continents in 60%, 70%, and 80% water coverage. I'm sure you're all familiar with this screen. 60% water means more land, 80% water means less land.

​

So the choices are as follows:

A. 60% water - more land tiles

B. 70% water

C. 80% water - less land tiles

D. ABSTAIN

This is a public poll and will be open for 6 days.

There is a town in north Ontario, With dream comfort memory to spare, And in my mind
I still need a place to go, All my changes were there.

As we're using Continents, which means less land than a Pangaea game, I believe we should use only 60% water coverage.

Nah, I think 80% will just make it a Navy game. A small map is a small map. It's only so big. I'd rather cross land than cross water. You don't HAVE to build cities, but it will allow you to if you want. Having ships sunk at sea is just a huge waste of man power.

It is not big difference, the question is how the continents are connected. I vote for pre Astronomy trade possibility.
If Ivory Island at equal distance from each capital and have EQUAL access for any civ it is OK for any %.

Trade via coast is important but will rarely be possible with 80% water. I vote for 60% water on a 60x60-Map as to prevent too much cities to manage.

I definitely agree. With 80% water, changing the trade parameters to Map Making is pretty much useless. Unless you only want to trade with the other Tribe on your Continent, with whom you're always at war with...

I've watched you play 3 too many times, Chamnix. And no, I don't want to buy the swamp land.

I meant in the middley between the 2 Continents. There would 2 Continents. But there exist seatitles("coast"), so trade between continents can happen with map making without the need to build the light house. Great Light house offers trade over seatitles. Trade by Astronomie or GLH would be another option.

I know what you meant. It would be easier and smarter to just use 60% water coverage.
